Jersey City man knocked down, wallet taken

A Jersey City man was robbed of $300 cash and ATM cards as he was walking to his car at Baldwin and Magnolia avenues early Friday morning, a police report says.

The 53-year-old resident told police he was walking to his car shortly after 2 a.m. when two people approached from behind and he was punched in the back of the head, which caused him to fall to the ground.

While he was on the ground one of the man’s attackers took his wallet out of his pocket and the crooks fled in an unknown direction, reports said.
